Chairman Mtanes Shehadeh of the Balad Party, one of four predominantly Arab parties in the Joint List, has attacked Joint List Chairman Ayman Odeh, calling Odeh's statement that he is ready to join a center-left coalition "miserable".
Shehadeh said, "Let's not forget that [Blue and White leaders Benny] Gantz and [Yair] Lapid don't want to turn to the Joint List [to build a coaliton] at all."
